In this follow-up to their documentary "Gunner Palace," filmmakers Michael Tucker and Petra Epperlein focus on the return home of four soldiers from the Iraq War. The veterans are a heavy-metal rocker trying to laugh off the experience, a cage fighter embittered by a dishonorable discharge, a student going back to finish college, and a prospective Congressman. They were all at war together in the same artillery unit, but now must find peace on their own.

David Nusair Reel Film Reviews ...the movie effectively completes Tucker and Epperlein’s stirring trilogy. Rated: 3/4 Mar 8, 2025 Full Review David Walsh World Socialist Web Site How To Fold a Flag treats the way things are in the US. Not much is added. The film is proof that the truth can be told about war, poverty, social inequality. Feb 13, 2021 Full Review Brent Simon Shockya.com An at times agonizing but very necessarily full-bodied portrait of the true cost of war, How to Fold a Flag shines a light on the human side of armed conflict.
